Preliminary Setup

These skillets are used in the workflow ahead of configuration to create an empty configuration and install the latest content updates.

Load Empty Baseline Config

A python skillet that resets the configuration to an empty baseline with only the management interface, admin user, and DNS configured.

The steps of the skillet include:

• Render the full configuration using supplied values

• Import the configuration file

• Load the configuration as candidate

• Commit the configuration

Content Updates

An ansible playbook that checks if the latest content and threat updates are installed. If not, the playbook will download and install the latest updates.

The content update is often required before configuration of skillets to have the latest predefined elements such as Palo ALto EDLs, URL filtering categories, WF filetypes, etc. Updates may also be required before software upgrades.
